Here Are the Top 10 Most Handsome Men Based on the Golden Ratio

Although beauty standards may differ from culture to culture, Dr. Julian De Silva, a plastic surgeon, conducted a study in 2020 that pinpointed particular physical characteristics that are commonly perceived as attractive in men. By utilizing the Golden Ratio, the doctor analyzed the facial features of well-known male personalities to determine their overall aesthetic excellence. And we’re curious to see if you agree with the top 10 picks.

The formula of beauty

The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi is a mathematical equation created by the Greeks to measure beauty. According to Dr. De Silva, it consists of 3 parts:

• The length and the width of the face are measured and then the results are divided. The closer the result is to 1.6 (number Phi), the more perfect the face is.

• The following measurements are also taken into account: from the forehead hairline to the spot between the eyes, from the spot between the eyes to the bottom of the nose, and from the tip of the nose to the bottom of the chin. If all the numbers are equal, a person can be considered beautiful.

• The eye width should be equal to the distance between the eyes and the length of the ear should be equal to the length of the nose.
